"This odd and allegorical tale of WWII fought by the knights of the Round Table reads more like a play than a novel -- characters stride on stage and declaim, disappear and reappear. There's even a chorus, presumably of the populace. Barthelme is intelligent and his prose is highly intellectualized, in a manner which renders it interesting but alienating."
"Easily my least favorite Barthelme work, but still a pleasurable read. I think the discussion of the media was one of my favorite parts -- Guinevere was generally a bore, unfortunately. Arthur and the other knights were much more amusing and fresh."
